Fiat kills the viper

It means I don't give a shit about Dodge anymore.

>>17521886
It means Dodge killed one of the few things going for them. FCA is now irredeemable.

Haven't they killed it for three years in a row now? I've constantly read VIPER DED for ages now. When are they finally going to actually kill it?

BTFO

Was great while it lasted, GTR fangirl tears were nice

the Viper was a piece of shit that couldnt pass basic safety regs so they killed it

lol @ people thinking they just killed it over nothing

>>17521931
How am I sperging? I'm not the insecure one making threads to circlejerk about how bad GM is. GTR got BTFO by the Viper, get over it kiddo

>>17521918
Fuck you really had to bring that shit to this thread, didn't you

RIP any actual Viper discussion

Watch until 10 years later Dodge makes it again

>Fiat Chrysler renovated and reopened the plant in December 2012 after redesigning and reviving the Viper. But sales failed to meet projections of 1,500 units per year.

>>17521941
We don't get to have nice things anymore, you should know that by now.

It's been "killed off" three times before.

It'll be back.

You can't keep the American God Machine down.

post a viper faster around the ring than pic related

it's dead the UAW contract said it would not be replaced

>>17521948
It sucks, the threads that don't become namefag shitpostgrounds are very good, I remember one Corvette thread that turned into an actual factual discussion of pushrods vs. OHC, and didn't become shit.

I guess diamonds feel more valuable in a field of shit.

Either way, the Viper was officially killed because of the lack of side-curtain airbags, but really it was because FCA felt it wasn't a good enough Halo Car for the corporation. This generation of the Viper was godmode, but some polish would have turned it into a legitimate supercar by the next gen. FCA felt like the investment wouldn't have been worth it, and since SRT didn't want to give it a Dual Clutch, FCA pulled the plug.

>>17522031
Don't bother, this routine had been gone through a thousand threads before, with mostly the same smug anime girls too. The Viper's headed to the Nurburgring this July, but even if it smokes the GT-R the shitposting will continue.

On topic, is twin turbos on a Viper worth it for the track, or just drag racing? Here's a sweet twin turbo, dat backfire at 2:05 is the sickest

Turbo seems like overkill unless for drag, car is balanced well out the box with power and such

>>17522062
>road tracks matters because some obese Viper virgin fangirl says so

>>17521987
It's a bit more than that.
There were uaw issues and the fact that FCA decided not to renew the lease on the factory that made the viper as well as other things I'm forgetting that killed off the snek.

Truly we are in the worst timeline.

>>17522077
it pretty much boils down to

the Viper is expensive to make and sell
no one wants to buy them

>>17522077
Yeah, I'm not sure if the concession should have been made for paddle shifters this gen, although I believe all the R/Ts and ACRs still sold out.

>>17522084
Take off that tripcode, you don't need that shit here.

>>17522097
I tripped so think skins can filter me

its really for the best

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

>>17522115
Fair enough, at least you're not ban evading.

Anyways, I don't know how I feel about the whole Viper market. Dual clutch shifters would probably increase the consumer base, but isn't the manual part of the charm? Would it have been worth it to change?

>>17522097
Paddles would have increased their sales, but I feel the end result would be the same.
They'd rather focus on putting stupid amounts of horsepower into challengers, it seems.

>>17522137
>>>17522097
>Paddles would have increased their sales
Sad that all the people with money are bitches

>>17522143
It's sad, but normies are where most of the money is.

>>17522143
It's sad, but when you have that much disposable income, most people are badge whores, and it's hard to convince them to spend money on a Dodge instead of a Porsche or a Mercedes. It's sad, but it's not undeserved, as FCA dug this hole themselves in the 2000s.

Mentioning the GT-R, Corvette, Tesla brand, or the Ford GT should be an automatic ban.

>>17522247
I honestly wouldn't mind, at least it would live on. Although being one of the few American supercars is pretty charming

>>17522253

It's not a Viper, it just shows how the design cues and aero can live on even after being discontinued.

Honestly I just want to see Vipers racing again.
With the announcement of the GT coming back to Le Mans I was so excited to see a GT, Viper, and Vette battling down the Mulsanne straight or round the banks of Daytona.
The Viper has been my dream car since I was 10 or 11.

>>17522375
>I don't know what I am talking about
the average speed there is almost 110 mph in gt3 cars

>>17522380
Racing liveries look real good on Vipers

>>17522383
>average speed is ALMOST 110
meaning that most cars aren't driving above 110 very often, so back to my original statement

>>17522505
that post stated 3 different cars faster than the GTR so idk where the shit post comes from, but I'm excited for the Viper to rock it and go out a winner

>>17522530
yeah, I can't wait, I've heard rumors of 7:01 amateur times so I want to see how valid they are. It probably won't beat godmachines like the McLaren, but I want to see it die with pride

>>17522559
No matter what the lap time though I'm happy that it's going out on the god track, its a nice bow on a perfect package
